Appliance and electrical (WEEE) collection.
Washing machines, dryers, cookers and televisions. Anything with a plug or a battery is regulated waste and has to go to a treatment facility, not a general tip.
Electrical items fall under the WEEE regulations, which means they cannot be disposed of with general waste. They are taken to a licensed treatment facility where components are separated and recovered. That route costs more than general disposal, so most electricals carry a per-item addition shown on your quote.
Fridges, freezers and air conditioning units are the strictest case. They contain refrigerant gases that must be extracted under controlled conditions before the unit is processed. We will not quote a fridge from a dropdown menu — it gets a photo quote once the receiving facility is confirmed.
Batteries and anything containing a lithium cell should be flagged separately. Damaged or swollen lithium batteries are a genuine fire risk in a loaded van and need handling accordingly.
